Touché Amoré: Lament [Epitaph]
The title notwithstanding, Touché Amoré’s fifth album Lament finds the post-hardcore band in a hopeful headspace. On their last album, Stage Four, Touché Amoré grappled with grief, and the death of vocalist Jeremy Bolm’s mother. On the new LP, recorded with producer Ross Robinson, the band explores the aftermath of that sorrow with empathy.

Cut Worms: Nobody Lives Here Anymore [Jagjaguwar]
Cut Worms is the recording moniker of Max Clarke. Nobody Lives Here Anymore, a double album, is Clarke’s second record for Jagjaguwar, following 2018’s Hollow Ground. The title is Clarke’s reference to “throwaway consumer culture and how the postwar commercial wet dreams never came true, how nothing is made to last.”
